obama liked him so much, he considered him for cia director the first time around. but when word was leaked in november 2008, criticism about brennan's ties to the bush administration and to those enhanced tactics prompted him to withdraw his name from consideration. his letter to president-elect obama, it has been immaterial to the critics that i have been a strong opponent of many of the policies of the bush administration such as the preemptative war in iraq and tactics to include waterboarding. the fact that i was not involved in the decisionmaking process has been ignored. the extent of his opposition is murky. cia colleagues told "the washington post" they don't recall him raising objections and ruling out waterboarding rules out just one of the enhanced techniques used at the time. those included sleep deprivation or seeing them to remain in uncomfortable positions. 2010 brennan told "new york times" that he doesn't see them as one in the same.
